August 2019 Xbox Games with Gold and Game Pass update

Microsoft users, whether you play via the Xbox One consoles or via PC, can rejoice as their backlog will grow even more. Games with Gold, the service that comes with an Xbox Live Gold membership, has been blessed with four games but first things first, let’s start with the Game Pass update.

The Game Pass has three different subscriptions: console only, PC only and the Ultimate Game Pass. Although all the subscriptions are well worth your money, Ultimate is the winner as it is for consoles, PC and it includes Xbox Live Gold. Respectively, the prices per month are €9.99, €9.99 and €12.99. If it’s your first month, the Game Pass is available for €1 only. The following games will be added in the month of August:
